#Badenoch's public statement ends with "He is in office but not in power. If he had any integrity, he would go"
This is a bit rich considering the Tories had their worst EVER electoral defeat last night

But the bad news from Professor Sir Curtice continued on the stale dead old parties:
“The [ #Labour] party’s 25.4% of the vote represented a near halving of their 50.8% of the vote in 2024 and the 13th biggest ever fall in the party’s support in a byelection.
Meanwhile, the #Conservatives lost their deposit with just 1.9% of the vote, their worst ever byelection result.”
This is bad news for both #Starmer and #Badenoch. There is a seismic shift away from both their parties.
The best start to a Friday… #GreenParty ‘s Hannah Spencer wins #GortonAndDenton byelection…and pushes #Labour who had had a comfortable majority there into third place.
“Rather than winning narrowly, the [Green party] won 40.7%, enough to put them as much as 12 points ahead of second placed #Reform. It represented as much as a 27.5 point increase on the party’s share in 2024.
Labour, who had not hitherto lost an election in the area since 1931, fell into third place.”

#Badenoch asks Starmer at #PMQs if when spoke to Trump did Trump say that #Greenland's fate should reside with the people of Greenland
KS does not say what Trump said but instead talks about the UK's position on the matter.
